I remember hearing Whinsons story a few years ago when voice dream came out. He had gone on some long vacation getting away from his work I believe. And then the thing just Took off and became his full-time job. At least, that is how I remember it. When voice stream picked up in the mainstream, not just blind people, he was apparently making enough money to do it full-time. But you can't keep doing that if you're not selling a whole lot of copies over time. Maybe he won the lottery, but I doubt it. Mary
